often seen and captui'ed specimens of wahlhergi no larger than 

 E. mima, but I have never seen, or heard of any of the latter 

 that in any way approach the size of a very large proportion 

 of the former. Wahlbergi may also be seen in gardens and 

 sometimes even in the public roads, Avhile mima is very rarely 

 found except in shady glades in the bush.

 species I have seen, captured, or heard of during December 

 1904 and January 1905, in Stella Bush, Durban.
